group isn’t always getting
their wellness exams,”
Treadwell said. “It can
help address issues before
they become serious.”

treatment and interven-

difference.
The Teddy Bear Clinic
is an experiential activi-
ty that replicates a visit to
the emergency room. Par-
ticipants are given a teddy
bear and then participate
in the admission process,
describing symptoms and
giving a health history of
the stuffed animal. Ap-
propriate medical tests are
performed, a diagnosis is
provided and discharge in-
structions are given.
“It’s kind of a fun pro-
cess,” Brenaman said. “It’s
interactive for the kids and
they get to leave with a ted-
dy bear.”
The exercise, Bre-
naman said, helps in fa-
miliarizing kids with
the process of ER visits,
which helps in reducing
fears they may have with
going to the hospital.
Treadwell also is excited
about the Food Hero booth.
Hermiston High School
FCCLA students will assist
in that area, which features
the preparation (and sam-
pling) of healthy snacks.
In addition, thanks to a do-
nation from Dave’s Killer
Bread, people will get to
take a loaf of bread home
with them.
Other activities, Tread-
well said, include being fit-
ted for bicycle helmets, car
seat checks and exercise
programs such as yoga and
tai chi. From prenatal to se-
nior citizens, there will be
something for everyone,
she said.
“What I love about this
is it’s not just one person or
organization,” Treadwell
said. “This is the commu-
nity coming together to do
something to benefit the
entire community.”

businesses for that week.
“A lot of people come
into town to support the
kids,” said Nakul But-
ta, owner of Hermiston’s
Rodeway Inn. “If it’s in
Tri-Cities, then that year,
we’re not going to have the
local economy booming.”
Butta said his business
sees an uptick around grad-
uation.
Shelley Bowden, the as-
sistant manager at Shari’s,
said she thought the move
would have a major impact
on local businesses.
“We definitely see a
spike in business, usually
about a week before,” she
said.”
Monica Todd, the man-
ager at Nookie’s Restau-
rant, said the move would
lower sales for that week-
end.
“It’s a big push for us,”
she said. “It would proba-
bly take about 30 percent of
our revenue each day.”
Todd said typically,
graduates get a free dessert
that weekend, and they see
an increase in pre-order and
to-go sales. She said some
of that will likely still go on
if people come back from
the Tri-Cities to celebrate
in Hermiston.
Todd said while gradua-
tion isn’t the busiest week-
end of the year for Nook-
ie’s, she has to hire extra
staff for that weekend.
“It’s one of our more
prominent weekends,” she
said.
She said they understand
finances have to be consid-
ered and the district has to
do what’s best for them.
“We’ve just been wait-
ing for the decision so we
can adjust,” she said.
Kennison Field and EO-
TEC were eliminated from
the running after the last
board meeting.
The survey expires Fri-
day, Sept. 22. The board is
scheduled to make a final
decision on the venue at
their October meeting.

EMPLOYEE PRICING IS BACK!

Residents of Umatilla County and surrounding areas,
Here at Rogers, we have recently had a huge influx of new Toyotas and quality pre-owned vehicles. Our lot and our employee lot
are overflowing with new inventory. Furthermore, our future inventory levels rely greatly on how quick we can sell our current inventory. In an effort to
make sure we can continuously provide you with the best selection of new Toyotas and quality pre-owned vehicles, WE MUST SELL ALL OF OUR
EXISTING INVENTORY NOW!!
In order to do this, we are going to provide you with our biggest savings of the year by offering every vehicle on our lot at EMPLOYEE PRICING

our biggest rebates, special leases, and lowest interest rates from Toyota that we have seen all year. There are no exceptions; New Rav4, Camry,
Corolla, Prius, Prius V, Prius C, Tundra, Sienna, Sequoia, Avalon, Highlander, 4Runner, Tacoma, Yaris, Land Cruiser, Certified Toyotas, or one of our
100 pre-owned vehicles. You pay what employees pay plus $1.
Not only do you pay $1 over employee pricing, but if you have a pre-owned vehicle of your own that you would like to trade in, or would like to sell,
you will get to take advantage of one of the strongest used car markets we have seen in the last decade. That means you get more for your trade.
